Li He offended another great poet, Yuan Zhen, who made things difficult in every way, and refused to let Li He take the Jinshi exam on the pretext that Li Jin, Li He's father, had made a taboo. Li He, a wizard, had no choice but to serve the country. Angry and sad, he wrote Ma Shi. His poems lament untimely birth and inner anguish, and express his pursuit of ideals and ambitions; At that time, it reflected the separatist regime of the buffer region, the autocratic power of eunuchs and the cruel exploitation of the people.
Ma Shi is a set of five-character quatrains written by Li He, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, with 23 poems. Poetry expresses the genius heterogeneity, great ambition, and feelings and resentment of people with lofty ideals by praising, praising or lamenting the fate of horses.

Extended information:
Li He is a descendant of Li Liang, Zheng Wang, the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty. When he was a teenager, he became rich and famous, but "a beautiful figure in the forest will be destroyed by the wind", and his talent was taboo by villains, so he was disqualified from the Jinshi examination for offending his father's name (Li He's father's name is Jin Su, and Jin and Jin are homonyms). As a result, Han Yu and other articles made an unfair cry for this. The young Li He has no hope of career since then.
In his "Song of Sorrow", Li He wrote angrily, "I am not satisfied when I am twenty, and I am full of sorrow and gratitude." But he didn't sink in, but devoted all his efforts to poetry creation. Legend has it that he often rides a lame donkey and carries a worn-out kit to go out for inspiration.
As he walked, he recited poems. Every time he got a good sentence, he wrote it down and put it in his bag. When he returned, he made it up. His creative attitude is extremely rigorous, almost reaching the point where he pondered and painstakingly recited. Coupled with his talent and talent, he finally became a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty.
